Mescalin

[Thurgood]

My dad and alot of old time stoners i know always tell me stories about mescal. I know it grows on a certain plant and what it is and everything, but how come no one does it anymore? He said it was basically like shrooms.

Mescaline (http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mescaline/mescaline.shtml)

Mescaline is produced in several different types of cactus, and though I've never had it, my own ex-hippie dad tells me it's far more introspective, mellow, visual and all-around better than mushrooms. It's also much harder to get a hold of, which is why I haven't tried it yet.

Shroom is a tryptamine, Mescaline is a phenethylamine.

They're 2 polar opposites when it comes to tripping.

San Pedro, Peruvian Torch, Calamus Root (which contains TMA-2 which is similar to mescaline)

Have you done it, thcbongman? If you did, how was it?

[Encatuse]

Calamus Root? I've got like 2 ounces of that I bought from a new age store for 3 bucks... I've chewed it and even made tea out of it... All it does it settle my stomach when I'm doing other shit, and help me sleep.

In fact.. not a single erowid trip report makes it sound even close to the awesomeness of mescaline. Most say it sucks.

[thcbongman]

So you did the typical plant extraction and it sucks?

I haven't tried Calamus Root, but I have done TMA-2. I ordered it though, because I'm only trying to trip from natural sources after doing so many chems.

[Encatuse]

It's not that it sucks as much as it's just boring... You might feel like you're on a very slowly rocking boat if you close your eyes.. but that's barely worth the bitterness of calamus. But, yeah. I made tea out of it and was NOT impressed.

well I know someone who has done a mix like that also some time ago
I don't know much about the trip..
I know there were 5 kinds of shrooms and mescaline in the tea
she took it at a party (which was not a good Idea)
but anyways there she didn't feel very well and she went home and had a great trip there
